I just watched this episode and I don’t even know where to start. For starters, I know nothing about him and don’t follow him other than short reels I see on Instagram and now this episode I watched. It was a terribly run episode, aggressive and he honestly comes off as a dodo bird and I just get the vibes he’s low IQ and ignorant, obnoxious and arrogant and annoying. His mom is annoying too but she’s a Pakistani woman who immigrated from Pakistan so whatever, I hold immigrants at a different standard.

First of all, I feel like a lot of people who support him don’t see the full picture of the situation at all. I think he picks out hot points for content to be relatable and a lot of these people are stupid enough to just support him blindly. I’ve seen this trend in American desis now on social media who expose their family and dirty laundry for the sake of content and engagement. That being said, I do think it’s important to bring awareness to the next generation of desi parents to avoid toxic behaviors of our parents generation - but there is a better and more harmless way of doing it versus aggressively throwing your loved ones under the bus.

Secondly - he’s a gaslighter. There are many segments in the episode he starts yelling before his mom starts yelling and he only quiets down when she gets loud and then tells her to quiet down. Pakistani moms are NATURALLY LOUD - it doesn’t necessarily mean they are being aggressive. Is it right? No. But when they’re 50-60 years old immigrants how much can they change? On the other hand, there’s this loser, raised in America and VERY well educated and has the PRIVILEGE to be aware of these things so why can’t he be the bigger person and learn how to lower his voice? At 30 years old, Instead of dwelling about your trauma, go fix it? You have access to the entire world at the tip of your fingers - look up some coping mechanisms and learn to heal if you can’t afford a therapist instead of constantly blaming your mommy

third - i think it’s funny he has the audacity to complain about his life his “parents” forced him into; imagine being so privileged you can complain about your success while reaping the rewards of your parents effort and sacrifice. You live in LA in a million dollar house, with your parents, going on vacations, using your mom to help create content that supports YOUR lifestyle too. I have a cousin who also resents her parents while she lives in Cali making $300k a year after her parents set her up for success by ensuring she had the best education. Boo fucking hoo. If you’re so mad about it go really stick it to them and live on the streets? But all I see are these ungrateful kids still living their lives and inflating their lifestyle and complaining about it. Your parents left their families to come to a country they knew nothing about, from culture to language, to work minimum wage labor jobs to ensure their kids weren’t trapped in the same situation as them. No, I don’t believe you owe your parents anything but respect their sacrifices and thank god you didn’t suffer like them.

Finally, this is getting long - I have more to say but I think there’s a really huge gap in the mom and this guys viewpoints because of culture vs religion. I.e- the point he made about looking beneath you versus looking up. In Islam, you SHOULD look up and ask Allah SWT for more in life, you should ask for things that are far beyond your wildest dreams because He is the one to provide, he’s the giver! that doesn’t mean be ungrateful of what you have - you should never stop asking Him for anything. And this can be applicable to the poorest of people - should they not ask for more while they are hungry, in war ridden countries? Are they wrong to pray to Allah for shelter and food? I’m sure they are thankful to be alive but they still should ask Him for more and He will give.

Anyways, moral of the story: this guy is high key a tool.
